Sydney lockdown takeaway and delivery

29th June 2021 | Eativity editors

When will it end? As we recently outlined in our article about the Melbourne hospitality industry, the impact of a city-wide lockdown can have devastating consequences on local restaurants, bars and cafes. These effects aren’t just in the immediate term; it can take businesses weeks or even months to get back on track after a lockdown ends. For many venues that are still recovering from previous lockdowns and restrictions, this latest nationwide COVID outbreak is just one more blow they can ill afford.

While takeaway “pivots” might not fully recoup losses from the lack of dine-in patrons, they can help businesses to keep their heads above water, as well as keeping people employed. Below, we’ve shared a list of just some of the many Sydney venues that are offering takeaway and delivery services during this latest lockdown period. So if you’re in Sydney and you’re feeling hungry, why not show a local business your support and order one of these tempting tasties? Or check out your own favourite local eatery’s website to see what’s on offer. Support local, feel good and eat amazing food – you can’t lose.
